Auto cut lines to cropped view

I have several cropped views in an Inventor 2013 drawing. I was wondering if Inventor could auto add a cut line to the cropped edge of objects when creating these views or alternatively if I would have to manually add a cut line through the symbols library ?

You could try adding a Layer to the styles named "Crop Cut Line" and define the line style for that layer.

Then assign that layer to the Object Defaults for the Crop Cut Lines.

 

Haven't tried it personally, but it may get you what you need.

Hi. Thanks for you response. Please could you describe how to implement this method you have described to obtain the cut lines as I am not sure as to how to add these cut lines you have described. Many thanks.

You can tweak the line type and line weight as needed to achieve the desired result.
